Organization's Mission	Form 990, Part I, Line 1 and Form 990, Part III, Line 1: The mission of the Monterey Bay Aquarium is to inspire conservation of the oceans. Calendar year 2014 was a great year for us; we celebrated our 30th anniversary, welcomed over 2 million visitors (our third highest attendance ever), launched a new strategic direction for our Conservation and Science programs, announced our new Ocean Education and Leadership Center project, were named "Best Aquarium in the World" by TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards, and opened a special exhibition unprecedented in its scope and variety of animals - Tentacles: The Astounding Lives of Octopuses, Squid and Cuttlefishes.
Program Service Accomplishment Description	Form 990, Part III, Line 4a - Marine Life Exhibition and Care: Marine life exhibition and care costs of $31,776,381 include the cost of operating and maintaining the Aquarium's living exhibit galleries. The debut of Tentacles: The Astounding Lives of Octopuses, Squid and Cuttlefishes in April represented a breakthrough in exhibiting this alluring yet challenging family of marine animals. Tentacles is the largest, most diverse living exhibit ever created to showcase these amazing animals that have gripped the human imagination for thousands of years. Over the life of the exhibit, visitors might see any of up to two dozen species rotating through a dozen living exhibits, from giant Pacific octopus to Hawaiian bobtail squid, the wunderpus and others - including one of the world's smallest squid and one of the world's largest cuttlefishes. With assistance from our partner organization, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, we were the first in the world to exhibit deep-sea cephalopods including the mysterious vampire squid, and among the first to exhibit the flapjack octopus, Japetella octopus and cock-eyed squid. Tentacles also offer visitors interactive exhibits that dramatize the animals' ability to change color and shape and swim with jet propulsion. There are intriguing art pieces highlighting 4,000 years of human fascination: replicas of Minoan pottery and Roman tiles, Victorian-era scientific and literary illustrations and contemporary mechanical sculptures commissioned exclusively for the exhibition. Other Husbandry highlights included news that one of our scalloped hammerhead sharks is both the oldest and longest on exhibit anywhere in the world, and the hatching of our fifth African blackfooted penguin chick. We celebrated the success of our team of jelly biologists, which mapped the elusive life cycle of Olindias formosus - the stunning flower hat jelly, whose multicolored, fluorescent-tipped tentacles are like a living fireworks show. In the process, the team possibly identified what may be key triggers for jelly blooms in the wild.
Program Service Accomplishment Description	Form 990, Part III, Line 4b - Education and Outreach: Education and Outreach costs of $11,690,608 include the cost of education programs for both teachers and students, Aquarium Adventures programs to deepen guest experiences, and the Cooking for Solutions event that promotes sustainable seafood practices. With a long-term goal to create a generation of young adults who are inspired, ocean-literate, and ready to act on the ocean's behalf, we announced plans for a new Ocean Education and Leadership Center. Through the Center, we can double the number of visiting schoolchildren who take part in programs led by Aquarium educators, double the number of science teachers we reach through institutes and workshops designed to build their skills, and double the number of teens in leadership programs. We'll nurture their capacity to become part of a science-literate generation that will help solve today's pressing conservation challenges. We began a multi-year fundraising campaign to make the Center a reality. In June, the Noyce Foundation recognized our decade-long collaboration with Watsonville/Pajaro community with a prestigious Bright Lights Community Engagement Award. Our systematic approach combines a series of different education programs designed to engage a broad spectrum of the Watsonville community over time. Those programs range from hosting some 3,500 students in school programs each year to our Splash Zone Head Start program, which we hold both at the Aquarium and in the community. Other initiatives include Young Women in Science, Watsonville Area Teens Conserving Habitats (WATCH), Teacher Professional Development, as well as affordable access programs for low income families and annual events with the Hispanic community in mind (these costs are included in Other program services). Our Project-Based Science Teacher Institute for middle school teachers received a $150,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Science that will benefit over 125 teachers and, by extension, thousands of students they will reach during their careers. Throughout 2014 we reached thousands of visitors through customized Aquarium Adventures programs, ranging from behind-the-scenes tours and overnight sleepovers to educational scuba adventures. In 2014 we added a new behind-the-scenes shark tour where participants discover over a dozen species of sharks, skates and rays, learn what makes sharks different from other fishes and how we're doing cutting-edge great white shark research. Our Aquarium Adventures programs provide enriching experiences for visitors as well as cherished memories. Our active and responsive presence on social media platforms allows visitors to remain connected with us, and us with them, once they leave the Aquarium. We ended the year with 2.3 million followers across all social media platforms and properties, especially Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram and a Spanish-language Facebook page called Tu Monterey Bay Aquarium. We're considered one of the social media leaders among zoos and aquariums across the country, not only in the number and engagement with our followers, but also in our innovative approaches to content. In May we hosted our 13th Cooking for Solutions event, which featured more than 90 chefs and 70 wineries and breweries. Renowned chefs and personalities who participated included Alton Brown, Michelle Bernstein, Sam Choy, Carla Hall, Jose Garces, Nathan Lyon, Cindy Pawlcyn, and Educator of the Year John Ash. Reaching over 19,500 attendees, including environmental and food writers, major seafood buyers and restaurateurs, the multi-day event strengthens the connection between what we eat and the health of the planet. As part of Cooking for Solutions, the 2014 Sustainable Foods Institute featured over 50 journalists and 35 speakers and panelists, including Chipotle marketing executive Chris Arnold, Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown, Walmart Sustainability Director Brittni Furrow, International Seafood Sustainability Foundation President Susan Jackson, Los Angeles Food Policy Council Chair Paula Daniels, James Beard Award-winning chef and author Hugh Acheson, and WildAid Executive Director Peter Knights. Sessions were moderated by top journalists from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, National Public Radio, Huffington Post, Guardian Sustainable Business, Salon.com, Harvest Public Media, and The Los Angeles Times, as well as Four Fish author Paul Greenberg. Topics at the 2014 Institute included: models for seafood traceability on a local, regional, national and global scale; reinventing food through new technology; the changing face of aquaculture; and the role of major buyers in shifting the market toward sustainability.
Program Service Accomplishment Description	Form 990, Part III, Line 4c - Conservation and Research Conservation and Science costs of $6,315,215 represent expenses for marine policy and advocacy efforts, the Seafood Watch program and field research. Our Conservation and Science programs are having greater impact than ever. Under a new set of strategic priorities we adopted in 2014, we're integrating our research programs with our growing influence in ocean policy, and coupling that with our leadership work with businesses and consumers to reshape the global seafood supply chain. We're influencing leaders in government, business and the nonprofit sector, and transforming fishing practices and aquaculture around the world. Our advice is sought by the White House, international fisheries management bodies and seafood certification programs, by major businesses and by millions of consumers for whom Seafood Watch is a trusted guide for daily purchasing decisions. Seafood Watch celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2014 with recognition that it has become the world's most recognized - and respected - source of science-based sustainable seafood information. Seafood Watch science now informs purchasing standards for more than 100,000 business locations across North America, including the majority of big U.S. foodservice and retail companies. Their growing commitment to buy only sustainably caught and farmed seafood is driving change in the way fishing fleets and aquaculture farms operate around the world. Our team provides guidance to the international bodies that certify aquaculture and fishing practices and to governments - including the ASEAN nations of Southeast Asia that intend to reshape their aquaculture policies around Seafood Watch sustainability criteria. We're also helping colleagues in Japan and other countries build home-grown sustainable seafood movements. Our team also advised U.S. policymakers on a range of critical issues, from recovering Pacific bluefin tuna stocks to illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing on the high seas. We briefed a presidential task force about critical policy changes needed to end those damaging practices, which helped inform a bold White House plan to block the import of illegally caught fish and improve traceability in the $500 billion global seafood industry. Our effectiveness was recognized in a significant way when a donor made a five-year, $10 million gift to support the global expansion of our sustainable seafood program. We are so grateful for their generous support and commitment to our work. Our growing Conservation and Science team is bringing our strengths to bear strategically: to protect critical ocean ecosystems off the California coast and beyond; support recovery of key species like sea otters, white sharks and Pacific bluefin tuna; promote market-based seafood solutions; and address threats to ocean health from climate change and plastic pollution. Speaking alongside former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to open The Economist World Ocean Summit, Executive Director Julie Packard challenged business leaders to get more involved in developing market-based solutions to pressing conservation problems. In the fall, we were one of five sites to host a first-ever U.S. State Department-sponsored Fishackathon to develop simple technological solutions for sustainable seafood challenges in the developing world. The team we hosted from UC Berkeley won the top national award. Our conservation and science work with ocean wildlife is at the heart of all that we do. In 2014, we welcomed a new chief scientist from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. He brings strong leadership to our science programs and partnerships, including our work to understand the ecological impacts of sea otters, great white sharks and Pacific bluefin tuna, which are among the world's most vulnerable marine species. We're committed to research and conservation action that will ensure these animals thrive and continue to contribute to healthy marine ecosystems. We brought our scientific and policy expertise to the table as part of the U.S. delegation to international management conferences for Pacific bluefin tuna. By the end of 2014, fishing quotas were cut in half, in the face of a 96 percent decline in bluefin numbers from historic levels. After more than 30 years of pioneering research, we've learned that as California's sea otters make a comeback, so do critically important coastal habitats like kelp forests and estuaries. Our work with this threatened species - at the Aquarium and in the wild - has contributed to a greater understanding of their vital role in shaping healthy ocean habitats. Our exhibit sea otters serve as successful surrogate mothers; to date, more than 30 pups have been born in the wild to animals they raised behind the scenes. In 2014, one pup we rescued and nursed back to health became a sensation in its new home at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium, and news coverage highlighted the important research contributions of our sea otter program. After a two-year stay at the Aquarium, our first "Traveling Turtle" was successfully released into the Atlantic Ocean by colleagues at the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. We received another rescued baby loggerhead sea turtle that will also be on exhibit for two years before it is returned to the wild. Having these animals on exhibit helps us share the story of this endangered species while youngsters grow large enough for release. We returned 21 Western snowy plover chicks to the wild in 2014 - the most of any season so far. To date, we've raised and released over 120 of these threatened shorebirds, which face many risks in the wild. We've also placed seven birds at other accredited zoos and aquariums. With colleagues at Stanford University, we've deployed electronic tracking tags and learned that adult white sharks make epic voyages from California's coast to Hawaii and back. Now we're collaborating with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute to place video cameras on the sharks' dorsal fins. We hope to document what they're doing when they aggregate in the mid-Pacific at what scientists have dubbed the "White Shark Caf."
Program Service Accomplishment Description	Form 990, Part III, Line 4d - Other Program Services: Other program services of $16,288,120 represent the costs of activities to provide a high-quality experience for the over 2 million people who visited the Aquarium in 2014. Included in this category are costs for marketing, guest services and membership services, as well as costs associated with foodservices and retail. Marketing includes costs associated with the creation, production and placement of advertising in various media for the purpose of building awareness about the opportunity to connect with marine life and ocean conservation through an Aquarium visit. An allocation of marketing costs is included in management and general expenses to represent the costs associated with soliciting admission revenue. In early 2014 we announced that we selected Service Systems Associates (SSA), one of the country's leading hospitality management companies, to be our new culinary operator. Under a multi-year agreement, the Denver based company took over the service operations for Cindy's Waterfront restaurant and the Monterey Bay Aquarium caf, as well as catering operations for private events at the Aquarium. We retained James Beard Award-winning culinary partner, Chef Cindy Pawlcyn, and her indelible culinary stamp with a farm-to-table menu and inspiring seasonal dishes in both the caf and restaurant. SSA's proven track record in managing cultural organization culinary operations is expected to bring an exciting and fresh perspective to an essential part of the Aquarium's lauded guest experience. We also announced that we are the official conservation partner of Titans of Mavericks, the world's premier big wave surfing event. Under the direction of Cartel Management Inc., Titans of Mavericks is the newly re-faced name and event held annually in Half Moon Bay at the most iconic big wave surfing spot in the nation. And we joined the White House, Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and other global landmarks to be featured in Google Maps Street View, and are the first aquarium on the iconic site to offer both interior and exterior images. As California's demographics change, we continue to attract and inspire visitors who reflect the new face of the state. In 2014, 27 percent of all Aquarium visitors from California were Hispanic - nearly a 50 percent increase since 2012. Market research indicates the Aquarium has the highest favorability ranking by Hispanic audiences among California non-profit visitor-serving organizations with an annual attendance of 1 million or higher. In 2014, the Aquarium admitted 108,259 people in our community free of charge, a 51 percent increase over 2013. These guests included underserved audiences visiting through our Free to Learn (12,904 visitors), Shelf to Shore (30,123), Student Ocean Stewards (1,589) and annual Community Open House (63,643) programs. We expanded our Community Open House in 2014 to include residents of Santa Cruz and San Benito counties, and introduced the new approach to tri-county residents by offering a one-time event in February in addition to the annual December event. Membership households totaled 76,708 and membership visits exceeded 500,000 as of December 31, 2014. In addition to the essential processing and customer service functions, membership services hosts several member events each year including sleepovers, a Halloween dance party and holiday wine tasting event. Aquarium members also receive Shorelines, the Aquarium's member magazine and targeted monthly e-newsletters. Membership services include other efforts to serve, retain and communicate with members about our conservation mission. The Aquarium's overall outreach wouldn't have the impact it does without the dedication of our many volunteers, who do more than make the Aquarium better - they make our work possible. For each staff member, we have two volunteers sharing their energy and enthusiasm for the ocean. In 2014, approximately 1,260 individuals volunteered nearly 160,000 hours of their time. Over our 30 years, we've had the support of 9,000 volunteers who devoted more than 3.6 million hours, working with visitors and behind the scenes.
